Yah, if those two hands are consecutive, and there have been no players moved, the number of chips in the players' stacks don't add up between the two hands- there's clearly 5,712 chips missing from player stacks.

Still no reaction from Coin poker support.
Meanwhile, the screenshots:

Preflop



Showdown



and the very next hand




I understand it's still beta version but this doesn't make any sense. I still can't wrap my head around such major flow in an actual software product that has to deal with financial transactions! Am I missing something here?

You understand what beta is? When you find bugs you send them to the resposibble support. Why do you get here to post this about a freeroll? Did you paid any buy-in or something? You can always play freerolls on pokerstars (if there is any)

Just to let you know, it's happened again!

Poker Hand #16114503: Tournament #499031, 2,500 CHP Freeroll PLO Omaha Pot Limit (400/800 ante 75 play) 2018/04/12 21:10:44 GMT
Table '34' 6-max Seat #1 is the button... etc

collected 100 from Total pot 720 | Rake 0

the next hand missing chips accordingly

could post logs&screens if needed

Waiting for some Coin poker's support explanation!

Is it really just me with this thing?

Hope Josem passed this info already and keeps us informed. It seems like a major bug...

Hello all,

A month ago, I decided to get back to the online scene by creating an account on CoinPoker. I am a total newbie regarding crypto but I thought the idea was great and could not wait to play on their soft.

But, as a total newbie, I sent a small number of ETH to verifiy my account. No worries, it got accepted. I then sent everything I had of ETH (worth around 300$ at the time) to the same wallet. Mistake obviously as I should have converted the ETH in CHP etc...

I contacted the support of CoinPoker, and they told me I would have my ETH back very soon on my wallet. It's been a month now and they don't even reply to my messages asking what's going on. My ETH is now worth something like 180$ and I don't even have it.

I don't really care about the amount but the way they dealt with the situation is making me sick.

ya thats a bit sketchy, id never play on these sites lol

Realy glad to see the new announcments from CP. The price of CHP almost hit 0.07 couple of days ago. The cash game tables have been seeing more action lately too.

https://www.pokernews.com/news/2018/...tour-30451.htm teamed up with the Asian Poker tour

Yesterday I got a reply from Coin Poker support. As only support team can answer, with verbum esse omnipoteus ac divinum quisque intelliget:

"Hello and thank you for contacting us,

Please specify your query in more detailed manner in order for us to help you.

Kind regards,

Todd"

During Civic introduction I spent almost two weeks in email conversations with their support until finally, we reached an agreement, so my guess is, it shall take some time to at least get a recognition of the existing problem. Not that any help is needed

Final update on my earlier topic.
Surprisingly, or to my surprise, I received two more consecutive replies.

"... In extremely rare situations side pots are not handled accurately by our platform. It is our top priority to fix this issue so that it will not happen again. I will follow up with you after reviewing this specific situation and will consider compensation for your report and the inconvenience caused... thank you for reporting this issue to us. Rest assured this is a top priority for our tech team, and we will fix this issue so it does not happen again.
This happened to you in freeroll tournaments, and of course you were negatively affected by this error in side pots not being correctly awarded. As a goodwill gesture we will credit your account with 500 CHPs..."

So... I'm still surprised because I'm not accustomed to whatever standards they apply in customer's support around the Internet, but this looks pretty solid to me. If I had an issue, it's solved. Nicely done.

A few thoughts why I think CoinPoker's CHP has dropped in value:

1. It was thought that crypto poker would be the answer to the over regulated and segregated poker market. Well it isn't. USA players cannot play. Coinpoker is under the same restrictions as poker sites that use the USD so it hasn't solved that problem. For this reason, CoinPoker is just another poker site.

2. It isn't easy for non-crypto people to purchase CHP and get it to the CoinPoker Cashier. There are too many hoops to jump through for people who have never had a crypto wallet and never had to send and receive crypto. People have lost their CHP bankroll because they sent it to the wrong address. These customers are lost forever as they will not be willing to risk losing more money to try another deposit.

3. The value of CHP has dropped 80% since the ICO. This is for a few reasons, one being the bearish crypto market but most certainly a large factor is the millions of CHP that have been given away in the daily freerolls and promotions since CoinPoker opened. I think flooding the community with free CHP is devaluing the CHP that people have paid for. If I had known they would be giving away so much I would never have invested my hard earned money in the ICO.

These are just my thoughts. If anyone disagrees please point out where I'm wrong.

source?

The DOJ?

There are no restrictions stopping US players from playing on CoinPoker. Its open for them to play

Are they letting you play from the US? That's interesting, TonyBet are putting their UK (and probably other) licenses at risk if that's the case. So far they've not answered whether US players will be allowed to play.

Hello , can someone help me unlock my Coinpoker chips

I will also send back some coinpoker make sure u give me your coinpoker wallet

Coin_poker hasn't posted since Feb 11, but on Feb 2 s/he posted: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...&postcount=545

I am not in the USA myself. A mate of mine just now from USA logged in (from USA), deposited and played on their cash game tables. He can also register for any tournaments etc

They have not had any restrictions on playing from the USA. Also, at least 1 mate of mine, again from USA, bought their ICO

There are numerous posts ITT from US posters asking how to cash out funds, deposit, etc

Presumably more here can confirm that they are playing from the USA

A deflective & lengthy answer from CoinPoker when asked a to the point Yes/No question

Apparently an account named "TonyG" on the tables at CoinPoker has stated that the site is open for Americans to play on. This was at the higher limits tables. I have no proof of this, or even know if its the real Tony G's account, but I was told the above last week



This is their Head of Security on the topic of USA players

The biggest reason for the coin drop in value its that it was massively overvalued on Ico. Why the hell would hundreds of millions of coins be worth 30cents+ representing the value of a company ON ITS LAUNCH?

Also that Civic thing

12m50s:

JI: "Can US players play at CP for cash?"
MJ: "That's a super good question ... I'd have to get back to you on that one."

(I stopped listening there.)

This site is getting even more pathetic: https://coinpoker.com/promotions/eth-madness

Promotional e-mail states: "Sponsoring Japan Poker Cup & Giving Away 100 ETH!"

- After failure to get Asian Poker Tour into supporting CoinPoker they now take some Japan Poker Cup I have never heard of (and probably almost everyone haven't) and who wants to qualify to some day1 kept @ Japan with no package?
- Giving away - sure if CHP is considered worthless.
- " If total buy-ins equal a higher amount than the guarantee, these will be paid out on top of the set pay out structure." - No value is given for CHP at this, so how should we know if there's guaranteed reached.

This site is a total pyramid scam. I never even considered of depositing, but gave it a small leap of faith (they do have some credible people included, not sure if they really are onboard but another scam inside a scam) and did play some freerolls and make some meek 2,5k CHP roll. Didn't even bother to install that some very suspicious program on my phone when no other option was given.

Like I said, it isn't legal in the USA, as per Mike Haven's link. Just because CoinPoker is letting you log in from the USA doesn't mean it's legal(For example, ACR).

This is pretty clear to me, from the CoinPoker Rep:

"...Permitted Jurisdictions, include (a) jurisdictions where Online Poker is legal because it is considered a game of skill;..."


So, anyone playing there from the USA risks losing their entire bankroll if the DOJ decides to one day shut it down like they did Stars and Full Tilt on Black Friday. It doesn't matter what you are using to play with, US dollars, tiddly winks, or crypto, using anything of value to play poker is gambling and is not legal in the USA.

This is why I'm so disappointed in CoinPoker; I thought they had found a legal loophole to allow Americans to play online poker using crypto, apparently they haven't. All they've done is find a way to line Tony G's pockets.

Wait, what?

Yes, my point is that if you are gambling with crypto it is still gambling because you can sell the crypto coin for fiat. If it wasn't gambling then playing poker on CoinPoker would be legal in the USA.
